The Motor Muse
The Motor Muse isn’t one to give car-buying recommendations on the official basis that this site isn’t about car reviews and I can’t really be bothered about giving any recommendations – but in reality, it is because The Motor Muse is as influential as your average tin foil hat wearer and probably just as sane.

Whether by sheer coincidence or by the mysterious and nefarious machinations of an uncaring universe, production of the world’s cheapest car came to an end right on the first day of the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Treats that will tend to leave more unwelcomed reminders on your body than pleasant memories in your head the older you get. And like the realisation that a morning […]
A good product makes a company, a bad one sinks it quicker than the Lusitania. That is as fundamental to the rule of business as you can get. An exception to this fundamental is but a zero division equation. It is impossible. There cannot possibly be a product that is so delectably good that it […]
Just when you thought that the market for superlight, super quick supercars would be spoilt for choice, newcomer Brabham Automotive have stepped into the arena with their BT62 supercar, and the stats are something to behold. 710PS and 667Nm of torque from an in-house naturally-aspirated 5.4-litre dry-sump V8 engine, propelling a 972kg (dry) car made […]
